If you disagree, say why. A downvote isn't a substitute for substantiating your opinion.
- Mythbusters 15y agoIts hacker news. What do you expect? Not many Windows users here.
- prophetjohn 15y agoSo? I posted that from a brand new MacBook Pro. Doesn't mean I've lost my ability to reason objectively or that I need to trash the opinion (passive-aggressively, of course!) of those who like Microsoft or Lenovo or whatever. OP made a valid point about Windows 8 and (you're right, what do I expect; it's Hacker News) it got downvoted for that simple reason. I think it got downvoted because it was a cogent point. Bullshit.
- huggyface 15y agoThe author seemed to be talking about devices of such a form factor, presumably after discarding options like the Asus Transformer (+Prime +Infinity). Windows 8 is only one small part of the equation, and there have been zero compelling examples of it on a device such as what the author described. Not to mention that as an OS it certainly hasn't proven itself yet.
